During the pre-release event of the film, Emraan Hashmi talked about his experience of shooting in Kashmir. The actor shared that they shot for Ground Zero in heavily crowded places in the valley and did not face any issues. He told PTI, “We didn’t face any issues. We have shot in crowded places, markets, and streets, and people were civil and nice to us; they were supportive too. We had the support system of all the security agencies there, also. So, that also helped. It’s a place which, unfortunately, has a history there.”
